APMEX Offers New Rectangular Bullion Coin from Perth Mint

Published on 2/13/2018 by APMEX

APMEX, Inc., a leading online Precious Metals retailer based in Oklahoma City, is pleased to announce a unique release from one of the most popular mints in the world. The Perth Mint in Australia has created Gold and Silver Rectangular Dragon coins, produced in limited mintages for worldwide release.

These unique rectangular coins feature a timeless design of stylized Chinese dragon chasing a flaming pearl. This imagery has long been depicted in artwork around the world and stands as a symbol of power, wealth and good fortune. While this design may appear to be a normal bar, the obverse bears a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with a face value, giving these bar-shaped items exceptional appeal traditional bars do not carry.

While The Perth Mint has produced rectangular coins in the past, the majority have been considered collectibles, celebrating things such as Charlie Chaplin or the Chinese Year of the Dog. These 2018 1 oz Silver and 1 oz Gold coins are true bullion items and are sure to be popular with both investors and collectors.

Each 2018 1 oz Silver Rectangular Dragon contains .9999 fine Silver and offers a mintage of 500,000 coins, similar to The Perth Mint’s iconic Silver Kookaburra series. The 1 oz Gold coin contains .9999 fine Gold and has a mintage of just 25,000 coins. Each coin is stamped with the metal weight and purity along with the face value.
